Rebelle Management South Africa has officially welcomed actress, presenter, and sportscaster Hope Mbhele to its Film & TV division. Popularly known as the “Zulu girl with some power,” Mbhele joins an impressive roster of stars under the agency, including Lunathi Mampofu, Thando Thabethe, and Bohang Moeko.
Mbhele has already carved out her space as one of South Africa’s most versatile talents.

Speaking on the new partnership, Mbhele expressed her excitement:
“Joining Rebelle Management is an exciting next step for me. This partnership gives me the platform to grow creatively and professionally, and to explore new opportunities in acting, broadcasting, and media. What makes this moment even more special is joining a woman-led agency during Women’s Month. It feels powerful to stand with women who are leading, creating in, and shaping the industry.”
Rebelle founder Tanisha Colon-Bibb echoed the enthusiasm, describing Mbhele as “a remarkable talent” whose versatility across acting, broadcasting, and live hosting makes her an invaluable addition to the agency.
